German Quark Crumb Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a colander with cheese cloth and place over a large pot in the sink.
• Gently mix buttermilk and cream together in a 2-quart ceramic casserole dish.
• Cook in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
• Pour buttermilk mixture into the prepared colander; drain for 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer drained cheese to a bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Mix the ingredients under the Quark Filling section and set aside.
• Blend Crumb Topping ingredients with a pastry blender (or 2 knives in a criss-cross pattern).
• Measure out 2 1/2 cups of crumbs. Pat into a greased 13x9 glass baking dish. Pat crumbs up about 1/2 inch up sides of baking dish.
• Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes.
• Pour quark mixture over baked crust. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly over quark layer. Pat down very lightly.
• Bake 30-35 minutes. Cool before cutting.
• STORAGE: Keep refrigerated but bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda.
• Stir in melted butter until combined. Set 2 cups of the mixture aside for topping.
• Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of an ungreased, foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.
• Cut large pieces of fruit in pie filling so they are smaller. Carefully spread pie filling on top of baked crust.
• Sprinkle the reserved topping mixture over the pie filling, and gently pat the mixture into the filling.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes more (I usually only do 21 minutes) or until the top is golden.
• Cool in pan on a wire rack. When cool, cut into bars.
